Heavy duty tune?

2018-07-20 18:36:58 UTC  

What the fuck

2018-07-20 18:37:04 UTC  

Sigh

2018-07-20 18:37:05 UTC  

Is this a Need for speed game

2018-07-20 18:37:07 UTC  

I mean

2018-07-20 18:37:21 UTC  

I know thats not directly applicable for the tune

2018-07-20 18:37:32 UTC  

Didnt know a better term off the top of my head

2018-07-20 18:37:46 UTC  

There is no term

2018-07-20 18:38:03 UTC  

It would be a tune with more boost and leaner ratio on e85

2018-07-20 18:38:07 UTC  

Or e30

2018-07-20 18:38:09 UTC  

Point is, a one size fits all trifecta tune isnt gonna help much when you start messing with the turbo and intercooler

2018-07-20 18:38:17 UTC  
2018-07-20 18:38:21 UTC  

Or cams

2018-07-20 18:39:02 UTC  

190hp from intake and exhaust? That's a 70% increase in total output, I can't think of any engine where that's the case.

2018-07-20 18:39:43 UTC  

Wut

2018-07-20 18:39:48 UTC  

I said and tune

2018-07-20 18:39:59 UTC  

The tune being the important bit

2018-07-20 18:40:10 UTC  

"Yeah, about that EcoBoost engine lol

Pretty much all of them are at risk for head warpage prior to 50k miles

The cylinders have a "water cooled jacket", so they're only attached to the rest of the head at the bottom end"

2018-07-20 18:40:17 UTC  

Tune of what? An ECU remap?

2018-07-20 18:40:23 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-20 18:40:30 UTC  

It's called an open deck, and it's only one motor that's open deck.

2018-07-20 18:41:00 UTC  

Also that thread sounds about like what i was saying

2018-07-20 18:41:04 UTC  

190hp is easy

2018-07-20 18:41:11 UTC  

Above 200hp takes work

2018-07-20 18:41:28 UTC  

Which, tbf, isnt worth it on an econobox

2018-07-20 18:41:44 UTC  

I have seen people do it, but they throw tons of money at it

2018-07-20 18:42:00 UTC  

I might do that if i get a second car tho

2018-07-20 18:43:28 UTC  

at no point does it suggest 190 was easy, unfortunately the guy removed his setup from his signature but he does say he was running 33% E85 mixed with 93 gas

2018-07-20 18:43:48 UTC  

Also just saying. The bit that started this, with me talking about cam and turbo upgrades, was a joke.

2018-07-20 18:44:09 UTC  

Also i gave a range. 180 to 190. Not just 190

2018-07-20 18:44:36 UTC  

Tune by itself gives 39 to 50 hp iirc.

2018-07-20 18:44:47 UTC  

From trifecta at least.

2018-07-20 18:44:59 UTC  

Bnr has a less aggressive tune i think

2018-07-20 18:46:49 UTC  

Now maybe when i was looking this shit up before i missed details about using e85 to get those last few horses

2018-07-20 18:47:00 UTC  

Absolutely possible. Likely, in fact

2018-07-20 18:47:32 UTC  

But even 180hp is a sizeable increase in juice for just an intake, exhaust, and ecu tune

2018-07-20 18:48:27 UTC  

Anything beyond that is messing around for fun on an extra car. You are absolutely right in saying its probably not worth it. @LOGiK

2018-07-20 18:54:06 UTC  

I question the use of e85 tho.

2018-07-20 18:54:22 UTC  

For just 10 to 15hp, doesnt seem worth the hassle

2018-07-20 18:55:58 UTC  

does your car have a 126mph limiter on it?

2018-07-20 18:58:41 UTC  

also the 180 is probably gonna need a decat without other mods from what I can see
